Which beach will you choose?
If you love finding hidden beaches and discovering new sand? Then Puerto Vallarta´s South Shore is mother nature´s gift to you.
When we say South Shore Beaches we mean any beach that starts from the far south end of Los Muertos beach all the way to Cabo Corrientes at the south tip of the Bay.
Whether you have a vehicle or will be taking Vallarta´s ever so efficient and affordable public transportation, some of the best beaches have very easy access.
Here are some of our favorites and remember, Sundays is a day off in the Bay of Banderas so if you wish for peace and quiet, pick any other day of the week to beach hop.
